Sundar Pichai trying to paint himself as the champion of the poor man’s privacy isn’t even the main problem here: a Big Tobacco CEO would love to be seen as the champion of your health and ditto a Big Oil CEO as defender of the environment.

A. Privacy is not a good, it is a human right

B. Google is a surveillance capitalist; its business model is diametrically opposed to respecting privacy

C. Google protects *their* information, not yours, because that’s what your information becomes once they have it: their asset

Protip: systemctl disable: disable from launching at boot time. If you want to make sure a service cannot be started at all, what you want is systemctl mask.

e.g., if the (insecure) rsync daemon could be running at the moment, these three should have you covered:

sudo systemctl stop rsync
sudo systemctl disable rsync
sudo systemctl mask rsync

(PS. Yeah, you really shouldn’t be running the rsync daemon. And you don’t need it to use rsync over ssh.)

#systemd #rsync #security

I just discovered #gerdaos - does anyone have any experiences with it? Sound too good to be true, getting a 50$ phone which can run a free OS.

Such a nice day today my wife and I went for a walk in one of the regional parks nearby. Great way to get out into nature and mentally reset a bit.

Welp, I give up, this is my name now. It's pronounced "Karen C AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

🤬

I'd go look up the fix but I don't want to go out onto the Internet without Google Container and Privacy Badger and Super Stop and...

... oh wait, I have Lynx installed. 👍
